A few more albums, a few more years, I'll be like Peter Petrelli in Heroes. I'll be some type of rap super-monster or something.

Why try to fit in when you a stand out?

Most important to me is being able to release music and have an astounding relationship with whoever would be distributing the music.

I tried to make the best music that I could possibly make, and then nothing was ever good enough.

It is a different world, the underground. When you hit mainstream, you hit a saturation level and that turns some people off. When you are on more low-key stuff, it works to your advantage and it creates a buzz on the streets. At that point, the sky is the limit.

I'm a firm believer in everything going digital, in a matter of years. I wanted to kind of be one of the pioneers, one of the people that jump on that bandwagon early.

Sometimes you gotta stand by your failures to recognize your success
